http://www.euronews.com/ Greece is to spend 10 billion euros to buy back government bonds, offering a better deal than investors had feared.
The move is part of efforts to reduce the country's massive debt load. That would then unlock long-delayed international aid needed by Athens so it does not run out of cash.
This is one of the measures approved by eurozone finance ministers last week as Greece's foreign lenders try to put the near-bankrupt country's debt back on a sustainable footing.
Athens will only pay around a third of the original value of the bonds, saving it 20 billion euros.
It remains to be seen how much of a take up there will be - particularly among non-Greek bond-holders - but it did find favour on Athens streets.
One man said: "It is a small relief, because there should have been a general reduction in the debt. That would be fair"
Another added: "The Eurogroup decision is, indeed, very important and can provide a way out of the Greek problem. The point is that this way out is not in the near future. There is a long way to go for Greece to get out of the recession."
The percentage that the government is offering to pay varies, but is more than the calculated value of those bonds last week when the buyback was announced.
That led to a rally in Greek bond prices and shares of the country's banks rose as they will not lose as much as previously feared.

We are told that governments bonds are the “Flight to Safety” trade. But are they as safe as they want everyone to believe? Not according to the Bank of Canada. This month the Venezuelan government and PDVSA, Venezuela’s oil company and the main source of revenues for the government, have both been declared in default on their debt. My bet is that this is just the start of a much bigger Sovereign debt default trend and the Bank of Canada seems to agree.

Greek bond buyback scheme key to economic stability

http://www.euronews.com/ Greece's plan to buy back bonds from private investors must work according the GreekFinance MinisterYannis Stournaras.
The bond buyback is a part of the measures agreed with EU finance ministers to reduce Greek debt and bring some sustainability to an economy in tatters.
Yannis Stournaras is the Greek Finance Minister:
"Since the rest of Europe must take this decision to its respective parliaments to see how much more Greece will cost the German, Austrian, Finnish and the Slovenian economies. The least we can do is make sure the buyback plan succeeds. It is our patriotic duty."
One idea is to lend Greece 10 billion euros from the EU bailout fund, which would allow Greece to buy back 30 billion euros of debt, reducing its outstanding bills by some 20 billion euros.
If the buyback scheme fails Greece will not be eligible for the next slice of cash on December 13.

Finland's threat to block bond buy back criticised

http://www.euronews.com/ The president of the European parliament has criticised Finland's decision to try to block the use of the eurozone's bailout funds to buy back government bonds.
The threat by Finland, which is also supported by the Netherlands, casts fresh doubt over the deal agreed between EU leaders at last week's crunch summit in Brussels.
"The biggest problem with Europe is that once a decision has been taken, it's not actually taken, because the next day, someone can veto and block everyone else. That's the big problem, and means we cannot create a situation where investors have confidence in Europe,'' The European Parliament's PresidentMartin Schulz said.
EU leaders agreed to the deployment of the eurozone's rescue funds - the EFSF and ESM - in an effort to bring down Spain and Italy's soaring borrowing costs.

Corporate debt is at all time low interest rates. In English that means that companies can sell debt("IOUs") to investors at low rates. This means companies are getting cash for basically nothing. The CEOs/big shots in the companies than do stock buy backs and sell their stock back to their own companies. They basically load their companies up with debt, take the money they earned from selling their stock and then usually haul ass to another company or retire to someplace like Switzerland.
So long as debt remains dirt cheap companies will keep doing buy backs and stock prices will keep rising. How long will this last? Who knows. Could end tomorrow or go on another 2 or 3 decades.

Corporate debt is at all time low interest rates. In English that means that companies can sell debt("IOUs") to investors at low rates. This means companies are getting cash for basically nothing. The CEOs/big shots in the companies than do stock buy backs and sell their stock back to their own companies.

So, the Fed, I think, is willing to sacrifice the dollar to keep propping up the bond market. Even if we launch QE4, it may not have the effect on the bond market that prior round of quantitative easing had. They may lose control of the long end of the bond market.

In order for the Fed to keep the air from coming out of this bubble (in bonds), they will have to sacrifice the dollar.”
Where does that leave hard assets like gold? Schiff contends, “Gold stocks were the best performing stocks in 2016, and they are already the best performing stocks in 2017. I think the bear market in gold and gold stocks ended at the end of 2015. It’s a new bull market. I think the big gains we got last year are just a small down payment on the gains we are going to get in the years ahead. Very few people are positioned properly.”
Schiff goes on to say, “Donald Trump is not the cause of these problems. We’ve got a giant wound that we’ve got a band-aid on. Nobody is really looking at the wound because it is hidden by this band-aid, and it’s getting worse, and worse and worse. MaybeTrump will peel back that band-aid, and we actually get a good look at how bad we are wounded. . . . I think this has gone on so long and the bubble has gotten so big . . . . We did not get to celebrate the Dow 20,000 party, but I think that we are going to have the last laugh and do the most celebrating when the bottom drops out of the dollar and reality sets in.”

John Rubino Return of the Bond Vigilantes What does it mean for the Markets?

Greek bonds boosted by buyback details

http://www.euronews.com/ Greece is to spend 10 billion euros to buy back government bonds, offering a better deal than investors had feared.
The move is part of efforts to reduce the country's massive debt load. That would then unlock long-delayed international aid needed by Athens so it does not run out of cash.
This is one of the measures approved by eurozone finance ministers last week as Greece's foreign lenders try to put the near-bankrupt country's debt back on a sustainable footing.
Athens will only pay around a third of the original value of the bonds, saving it 20 billion euros.
It remains to be seen how much of a take up there will be - particularly among non-Greek bond-holders - but it did find favour on Athens streets.
One man said: "It is a small relief, because there should have been a general reduction in the debt. That would be fair"
Another added: "The Eurogroup decision is, indeed, very important and can provide a way out of the Greek problem. The point is that this way out is not in the near future. There is a long way to go for Greece to get out of the recession."
The percentage that the government is offering to pay varies, but is more than the calculated value of those bonds last week when the buyback was announced.
That led to a rally in Greek bond prices and shares of the country's banks rose as they will not lose as much as previously feared.

How a stock buyback works

Companies often buy their shares back from the market. Here's why and how the do it.

Of Course Government Bonds Are Safe - Peak Beneath the Skin of the Markets

We are told that governments bonds are the “Flight to Safety” trade. But are they as safe as they want everyone to believe? Not according to the Bank of Canada. This month the Venezuelan government and PDVSA, Venezuela’s oil company and the main source of revenues for the government, have both been declared in default on their debt. My bet is that this is just the start of a much bigger Sovereign debt default trend and the Bank of Canada seems to agree.

Tim Bennett Explains: What are share buybacks?

Share buybacks are an increasingly popular way for companies to return surplus cash to shareholders. However, as Tim Bennett explains in this week's second, intermediate-level video, they are also a way for directors to flatter a firm's results and can also help them to hit share-based remuneration targets. If you are relatively new to investing you may find an earlier video Why buy shares? provides useful background information http://youtu.be/KFauoB8ppzc

Warning, Corporate Buyback Pattern Shift Exposed! - Insider Trading

Perhaps we now know why a pattern shift in insider selling began last September. Could it be because the corporate share buybacks that’s helped propel these markets higher began to shift this past January?
The corporate stock buyback tool, used to hide the risk trans from insiders and institutions to individuals, is now at the lowest level since 2012 according to the Wall Street Journal.
What are the implications of this shift? How is this likely to impact you?

Repurchase agreement

A repurchase agreement, also known as a repo, RP, or sale and repurchase agreement, is the sale of securities together with an agreement for the seller to buy back the securities at a later date. The repurchase price should be greater than the original sale price, the difference effectively representing interest, sometimes called the repo rate. The party that originally buys the securities effectively acts as a lender. The original seller is effectively acting as a borrower, using their security as collateral for a secured cash loan at a fixed rate of interest.
A repo is almost equivalent to a spot sale combined with a forward contract. The spot sale results in transfer of money to the borrower in exchange for legal transfer of the security to the lender, while the forward contract ensures repayment of the loan to the lender and return of the collateral of the borrower.

Intel Corp is the individual stock examined this week. There has be zero insider stock buying over the last three months.
Perception management at work; Bitcoin has become the talk of the town and people are blinded by numbers. This gathers attention and acceptance, just what the bankers want.
But keep in mind that central bankers have experience with money standard shifts. They know things must appear “normal” to get our voluntary buy-in. They also want distance between their policy and public perception. In my opinion, this is the most important function of bitcoin.
